    Rear Defroster

    Same problem with my '05 GT. RW defroster stopped working for this season. 1. Light on switch comes on then goes off by itself like it always has but but no defrosting action is taking place. 2. At the beginning of the next driving cycle when the key is first turned on (but car not started)...

    Fuel Can't Fill The Tank At Once !!! Help !!!

    Had same problem and it corrected itself. Thinking one 'fast fill' too many moved or blocked something. I was able to 'slow fill' with the handle in the two oclock position for a few times before I was able to go back to 'slow filling' in the normal six oclock position.

    If you've had your fuel tank replaced, please read...

    My car has just over 17k miles and just started experiencing the dreaded 'fuel fill' issue very recently. Tech looked at it and stated he could find no issues? Something is blocked as it filled fine for years. I found out I could leave the key turned on and turn the nozzle handle to the...

    battery keeps dying wont stay charged over night.

    An old thread and your car is much older than mine. Assuming you have already checked alternator output and performed a draw test on the fully charged battery. Leaves only one last task to perform: parasitic draw test. You will need a meter that reads mA. Disconnect negative cable and...

    2005 Mustang Dead Battery Problem??

    Update: Yesterday, I redid the parasitic draw test, this time using the recommended protocol. Meter started at a rapidly fluctuating 1.65a and over the course of a minute or so fell down to a slowly fluctuating .09a to .1a or about 100 milliamps. Roughly 45 minutes later the meter read zero...

    parasitic drain on battery

    I just posted the following to the 'specific tech' area. This thread has been going for quite awhile! My '05 GT w/auto has just 16k miles and has experienced an intermittent parasitic power loss since new. I'm the second owner since 6k miles; first owner reported the issue too. I rarely drive...

    Interior Door Panel Falling Apart?

    Both sides completely delaminated and fell down across the armrests on mine last year. Replacement covering (appears OEM) installed by auto upholstery shop for $225 as I recall. Failed instrument cluster repaired at about the same time and I've decided to tackle the parasitic electrical drain...

    parasitic drain on battery

    Resurrecting and old thread but still applicable. Becky's car appears to be the same color as mine and she shares the same name as my grown daughter. I have a 2005 GT with 16k miles at present; bought used 3.5 years ago with 6k miles. I travel extensively for employment so the car sits for...

    Electrical 2005 Gt Speedometer Failure

    Gauge Cluster was 'overhauled' this week by mail with a shop in Tennessee who also provided a lifetime warranty. Gauge cluster reinstalled this past friday; everything working properly. Received a quote of $120 per door to reinstall leatherette material peeling away from door panels.

    Electrical 2005 Gt Speedometer Failure

    I drove my car home from work last night and noticed the speedo wasn't working - sitting on zero. Needle bumps slightly when car is first started but does nothing else. Everything else works, including the odo and cruise control; car has 14k original miles. Original battery was replaced...

(3).I need to drive it more 'enthusiastically'(!) (4).The 2005 Super Chips tune is completely out of date...

    Hello From Miramar, Fl

    Thanks to you and d98gt for the Welcome. I'll keep Powered by Ford in mind. This is my first time in many years I've signed onto a car board as previous experiences were pretty negative. I had no negative experiences with stangnet in the past but the same 'actors' who gave me grief on other...

    Engine Intake Runner Motion Control Plate - Actuator - '05 Gt

    I may be answering my own question with a bit of self research. On the 2005 GT, these assemblies are referred to as Charge Motion Control Valves, or CMCV for short. The 2005 - 2008 units are separate assemblies from the manifolds while the assembly was molded into the 2009 and 2010 manifolds...
